depends on the shops labor rate. the book calls for 4.2 hours + .2 hours to change the pilot bearing. the shop i work at this would cost about $450.00.

Well depending how mechanically inclined you are, you could do it yourself. if you don't think you can drop the tranny and reinstall it then you might want to have some one do it for you.If you can do this, then there are only a few more steps to install the clutch. Removing the old pilot bearing is going to be the hardest part. they are usually stuck in there pretty good.
$400-500 is about the average shop rate.
My buddy had his done and they charged him $550 but they had all sorts of problems.

Im 18 and I just replaced my clutch, and I have long tubes which means I had to drop the K member down few times during the process, I think you can do it, there is many guides that explain step by step what you have to do.
